Can we put it to bed now?!
With the greatest respect, MoD/MAA constantly putting to bed accidents with the same root cause is what has caused recurrence and even more deaths. As I said before, 56/60 recommendations to implement mandated policy. 17 main factors, all MoD's liability. Three years before this accident there was a report concerning poor practice when fitting fasteners on Nimrod. Nimrod cancelled, report put to one side, as if it could only be a Nimrod problem, not (e.g.) one of general training, supervision and culture. Then, the XX177 SI rips into - training, supervision and culture.
